Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Shekelslovakia]

Gen Alpha doesn't give a shit about the sequels, or Star Wars for that matter. They're too busy with Minecraft, Skibidi-Toilet, and Fortnite.

In both cases, the Millennials were the fans. The Millennials were kids when the Prequels came out, and they became fans of it. Not to mention that a good number of them along with some Gen X and Boomer folks were fans of the Sequels.

You do understand that Minecraft and fortnite are both millennial and zoomer games. Gen alpha is just inheriting them the same way as Gen x inherited Elvis and The Beatles. As for skibbity toilet, I hate to defend it but it's no different than all the countless source filmmaker and Gary's mod videos we all experience watching on YouTube. If anything those videos were more brianrot due to everything being nonsensical and random for the sake of it. Skibbity Toilet at least has an ongoing plot plus a lot of world building more so than any other series. We have become the boomers now and are just hating the next generation for what they enjoy and don't understand.

And as for their interest in the sequel trilogy. Will probably be indifferent and will try to find the silver lining of them. No different than when zoomers discovered the prequels under a new light. Will all think the latest thing is the worst only for it to become sentimental when the next worst thing comes out.

The prequels outside of clones maybe were never as massively hated as 2010 YouTubers would have you believe. Only terminally online Star Wars fans hated them and even up to Revenge of the Sith the reception on most forums was largely positive.


It was only after the Red Letter Media reviews dropped that this narrative that the Star Wars prequels were terrible began to be pushed so significantly.

 

[Rick The Stick]

The zoomers redeemed the view of the prequels and became big fans of it do you think gen alpha will do the same for the sequels?

Zoomers didn't do shit for the prequels because the PT is to them what the OT was to millennials. There's no difference. It's all Star Wars. Millennials are the ones who rallied behind the PT because thats what they grew up with, many of them growing up having seen OT first funny enough, and they'd simply gotten tired of hearing about how faggoty flower power kids had their childhoods raped because JarJar exists and spinning being a good trick.

Bob, are you actually retarded

Yes, Motor. He's exceptionally retarded. Who else could possibly have taken a money printing machine like star wars and then shit on it over and over again until 20+ year old EU novels are outselling their OC stories?

It’s weird that they’d fix that but not the fakeness of the CGI on Jabba and Jar Jar…

Pretty sure George is the only one who can go back and monkey with the pre Disney films. It's why "macklunky" exists, after all. Could be wrong, but if I was, Disney would have already gone back an upgraded what they could by now. And it wouldn't be limited to shit like EP 1 Yoda or CGI Jabba.

It's really funny how Disney is so insistent on making live action shows over cartoons when they clearly can't or won't do decent fight choreography. For a while I couldn't understand. But I figure the fights aren't the point, the point is shoveling in as many celebrity guest stars as humanly possible to get people to watch.

Immersion be damned.

Actually try to imagine thinking Jack Black is cool or relevant enough to do work with. The only way you could even potentially think that is if you were an autistic Irishman named Chris O'Neil and haven’t mentally matured beyond 15 years old.

Skibbity Toilet

You people are spending far too much time online and/or have truly retarded children in your lives to even know what the fuck this verbal diarrhea is.

The same people who shit on the prequels were the kids who hated Empire because Luke lost and arbitrarily decided it was the best in the entire OT once they got older. These are also the same people who now hate Jedi as adults because Ewoks exist. Just don't let these people know that Empire was nothing more than a bridge to Jedi for fans of the time and that New Hope is still the most successful movie in the franchise.

That's not the same thing. The Prequels were redeemed by millennials who were kids when they came out, and they loved those films as kids, but when the ST came out, Gen Z and Gen A didn't really give a shit about them.

That, and the Prequels were memetic and had a lot of cool action scenes and worldbuilding that redefined SW as a whole. The ST lacks that due to it just being a retread of ANH, LOTF, KOTOR 2, and Dark Empire, except done less competently.

History revision is a funny thing. The prequels were widely praised when they came out and even the worst reviews were "Acting kinda sucks but it ain't bad".

But now all you hear is Jar Jar, Midichlorians and sand. And those people are the ones running the franchise (into the ground) these days

What's even worse is most people can't explain why these things are bad. YouTubers act as if Midichlorians are the force and so do people when in reality Midichlorians are just a bacteria inspired by mitochondria that allows you to connect to the force. Adds a scientific element to Star Wars while keeping the fantasy.

it also demystified the force. in the OT it was more abstract, literal space magic. suddenly in the PT you could pull a scifi geiger counter out of your pocket to measure how "OP" someone is.
and it didn't really add anything, neither to the story nor the lore at large. in the same scenes you could have qui-gon say "I sense a strong force potential" or whatever, not "omg he's gonna be darth vader look at this thing here".

Did you read what I said? It doesn't demystify the force as it doesn't actually explain what the force is. It just works like power levels in DBZ. Also you had the chosen one prophecy which added plenty of mystery and mysticism.

As for skibbity toilet, I hate to defend it but it's no different than all the countless source filmmaker and Gary's mod videos we all experience watching on YouTube.

A lot of those videos were retarded shitty slop as well, but skibidi toilet is on a whole new level of brainrot, and it's not even funny or entertaining, it's made for people lacking a functioning midbrain.

And as for their interest in the sequel trilogy. Will probably be indifferent and will try to find the silver lining of them. No different than when zoomers discovered the prequels under a new light.

Nevermind, I see you just like to equate completely different things that are only superficially similar, the most modern advancement in lazy thinking. And the liking for the prequels often leaves out AOTC for being a boring shit movie, while Phantom Menace just looks pretty and ROTS is entertaining even if its also not that good.

 

[The handsome tard]

Asphyr still hasnt updated the Classic "Remaster" yet. I guess its safe to say that they scammed the loyal BF fans, desperate to relieve the good times, and ran with the money. Its sad because many players are now left stuck without being able to get a refund because some of them legit had faith this would get sorted out with a bunch of quality of life updates over the next few months and thats what they got in return, a freaking digital tumor fetus clone of what they liked way back when. I'd say that they deserve to get sued but who really has the money and free time to do so?

I unironically think pirating their games from now on is the only way of getting even, especially if you pre-ordered it and wasnt able to get a refund.

seriously, we went from having Star Wars games by the assload, some mixed in quality sure, but most of them were good to great...to now having this drought of content and the ocassional sewer spit from the anal pipe from the ass ground of disney's asscrack.

As for skibbity toilet, I hate to defend it but it's no different than all the countless source filmmaker and Gary's mod videos we all experience watching on YouTube.

I have seen some retarded takes in my time but that...doesnt take the cake, I have SHOCKINGLY seen worse...but this is pretty bad too.

The Gmod shit was all over the place in terms of quality but thats like comparing playing with your legos and making movies about them and comparing roblox and Digital Circus content farm porn.

there are situations where its not you being a grumpy old man, its the younger generation truly being retarded.

It was only after the Red Letter Media reviews dropped that this narrative that the Star Wars prequels were terrible began to be pushed so significantly.

Sometimes I wonder if RLM looks back and wonder if they had a positive effect on culture or if they legit dont care, they do come off as a tad nihilistic.

And its believed its one of the many reasons (since it wasnt the only one, come on, guys) that George Lucas sold the franchise to Disney.

I hate him for that but I also wonder if I wouldnt have done myself as a way to get revenge back at actually entitled snobby fans.

"You think Im bad? Mf, you better start praying because you are about to meet the devil that goes 'Hahaha!' "

I doubt G.L didnt know Disney would ruin everything. He had insight within the industry so he must have known the friendly image is always a façade.

Yeah it's kinda the same principle as Christian Scientist: You can believe in things like evolution, mass, gravity, and other laws of physics while also firmly believing God is the reason things are the way they are. How people managed to interpret Midichlorians as a power level thing is a mystery.

Basically, yes. A lot of the hype for the PT when the movies came out was positive. And yes, a lot of the people who whined about how bad it is are the kind of people Disney listened to when they made TFA and TLJ. Which of course, drove the franchise off a cliff, and nothing Filoni does can ever put it back together again, since Disney refuses to retcon those films, but they were more than happy to retcon a ton of Expanded Universe material that people loved.

The one hope moment for Disney Star Wars was during the airing of the second season of Mandalorian, and people had some hope that the ST would be retconned, but when it became certain that would not be the case, the fans walked away. Especially since they hoped that the Mandalorian would lead to cancelling out the ST, but by season 3, it was being used to tie in with the Sequels.

Contrary to everyone's prediction, Dave Filoni did not ''redeem'' the prequels. TCW, which popularized the Prequels despite all the critiques from shallow reviewers, was spearheaded by George Lucas; many of the ideas and the plotlines in it were led by him or supervised by him in some way, from pacifist Mandalorians to alien cowboys. Filoni was nowhere near that inventive; all he could come up with are generic good guy Mandos and a Thrawn who serves as a bargain-basement Light Yagami. Hence why when Filoni was given the wheel in Rebels, it felt like a completely different show; Lucas wanted to focus on Anakin and Obi-Wan, Filoni wanted his own OCs who were far from the center. So Disney using Filoni to try and ''redeem'' the Sequels was nonsensical, since he didn't make TCW in the first place. He just worked on it on the side and wrote the last few episodes, but Lucas was the one whose ideas were the strongest in seasons 1-5.

red letter media was a mistake

I've been saying that for years, it's the God's honest truth.

 

[Conspiracy Mawile]

Prequels told an actual story from start to finish.
Wasn't the best story Lucas could tell with all that money, but compared to the sequel mess Anakin's fall to evil seems like a Greek Epic.
The sequels just told us the story analysts thought the audience wanted to see, which resulted in Palpatine somehow returning and the dumbest retcon in movie history.

 

[Doctor of Autism]

Its really funny when Sequel fans defend Palpatine's return when it was really blatant that was never the plan. If it was, I'm sure his actor wouldn't say he was surprised when he was asked.

The Sequels just sucked mainly because of Bob Iger for just insisting on rehashing the OT with no actual plan and JJ Abrams who just shoved a bunch of mystery boxes in the Force Awakens that he expected someone else to answer for him. If JJ had a plan and gave it to Rian Johnson, the Sequel Trilogy would at least be coherent, but there was no plan and Rian just changed the direction with his first draft of a script. Not to mention, Iger openly threw away George Lucas' treatments that actually had a plan. Meanwhile there's Kathleen Kennedy who doesn't bother to wrangle anyone and lets people do whatever they want as long as it fulfills "The Force is Female"

Contrast to the Planet of the Apes reboot trilogy where the first and last two films had different directors, but had a very compatible vision and plan for what the trilogy was about. It even had a stronger character to like about as the lead since Caesar had a complete arc, and memorable villains. Compared to the Sequel Trilogy where Rey has no charisma because there was nothing planned for her character and Daisy Ridley had no idea what she should be doing, then all the villains are just Female Stormtrooper to sell toys, Old Man in Gold Robes, Darth Vader 2.0 but a school shooter, dumbass ginger nazi, and Palpatine 2.

You know what the worst thing about the Disney Trilogy is? C-3PO's red arm that he has so people would buy two different 3P0 figures for their collection. Well, that was before Hasbro realized no one was buying Disney shit and you could make six foot stacks of Rose Tico action figures in the Target toy aisle.

To this day you can still find The Last Jedi characters like Rose Tico and Admiral Holdo clogging up store shelves. Their astroturfing worked on gay internet critics, but kids didn't fall for that shit.

they outright said they didn't plan shit when it all started out only to backtrack and say all according to keikaku when they pulled that bullshit
somehow palpatine returned
